Just got back from test driving the '07 Element SC, EX 2wd and '07CRV EX.(Just decided to see what so special about the CRV since"NO"Atlanta dealers can keep them in stock right now. The CRV was a smoother ride overall,and I guess that's one way to justify the sticker price, but the interior feels much smaller than even my current '98 CRV EX. The Elements braking system was superb and pick up was good. I noticed that engine sound was more noticable than the '07 CRV but definitley quieter than my '98 CRV. Wind noice was not an issue even at 80mph on the expressway. Visibility was a little more limited but nothing bothersome.
 
Now for the nuts and bolts. Dealer's internet price for the SC is $21,976.79, ($350 below invoice),and includes destination charge of $595, mudflaps and the standard SC options).Spoiler w/installation is an additional $485. With my '98 CRV trade-in of $6000, (Edmunds trade-in price is $6160, KBB is $6945) after tax,tags, title, etc, walk out price is $18141.16.
 
As we were shaking hands good bye, the sales person asked what needed to happen to close the deal, I told him they'd have to come up on the trade in price.
 
Is this walk out price a good deal? The other dealerships are qouting above invoice.

Drove my Root Beer Element SC home last night. Went through a different dealer who gave me a better price on my trade-in. Original OTD qoute was $23,8000, with tailgate spoiler came to $23,975. With trade I paid $17,000. I shopped several dealers, thank goodness for the internet. Made things alot easier, less hassle dealing with sales people. Honda Hennessy of Woodstock, GA were great, no pressure and I felt they were straight with me. As straight as sales people can be I guess.(When the internet salesperson told me" we'd rather have you finance than pay cash, we make more money off of you"), I thought hey at least she admitted it. Highly recomend reading all of Edmunds info on buying tips.Love the car, love the color!

We received a quote of $22,600 from Honda of Greeley, Colorado for a 2007 EX All-Wheel-Drive / Automatic in Tango Red Pearl.
 
Actually, our Broker who works for USAA (Auto Insurance) Company contacted the dealer and this was the quote; the price does not include taxes, etc.
 
Any comments appreciated.

We ended up purchasing the Honda Element EX (2007) from Honda of Greeley, CO. Overall, the experience was very pleasant. They did try to push the Extended Warranties as I'm sure they are told to do. We just kept saying, "No Thank-you". The rest of the purchase was a breeze. We have had our Honda Element for about 2 weeks now and are really pleased with it. We are calling around to see who has the cheapest "installed" price for the fog lights. So far, Boulder, CO (Fisher Honda) is beating Fort Collins, Longmont and Greeley in the pricing by at least a couple of hundred.

Dude, you got hosed!
 
I just got an '07 EX 4WD automatic in Galaxy Grey for $20,992 (incl. dest.) + taxes & Calif BS-fees = $22.950 OTD. I had been doing a bunch of leg work but I thunk it paid off...

You can't compare CA to CO, or any other state for that matter. I have a friend that just bought a new BMW from CA b/c he did find it cheaper out there, flew out and got it. I chose not to do that. That was the best price I could get at this time by contacting every dealer on the front range. The largest and highest volume dealer would not beat it.
So I don't feel like I "got hosed".

Virgina Element Prices by novacouple

We have been shopping for an Element EX 4WD in Northern Virginia during President's Day weekend. Prices are all about the same, a little below invoice, ranged from $21,600 to $21,400 including freight but not including taxes, tags or those pesky $300 dealer fees. We are still not sure it's the car for us, still looking.

07 LX, 2WD, AT, in Southern CA by parke02

So I'm purchasing my first car. I want a 07 LX, 2WD, AT. I was about to settle for a deal today... good thing I found this forum.
 
I've visited one dealership, have gotten internet and phone quotes etc, for 4-5 dealerships in my area. The best price so far is $18,263, incl destination but not tax, title, etc..., at the Weir Canyon Anaheim Dealership.
 
The Santa Margarita dealership offered me the same car with mud guards (not that I need them), and free lifetime oil changes for $18,700.
 
Edmunds Invoice price for this car is $18,231. So basically, my best deal is right around the invoice price. Can I do better?
